We are searching for a direct female descendant of Drupina Rogers Cooper, wife of John M. Cooper. John and Drupina had four daughters: Sarah, b. abt 1816 in TN; m. Jonathan Pickens Milly J., b. abt 1826 in TN; spouse unknown Permelia F., b. 1819 in TN; m. Preston Peebles Moore Amritta/Armizza, b. 1827 in TN; m. John William Leakey The mt/DNA tester must be a direct female descendant of one of these four women. That means that we are looking for a daughter, granddaughter, great granddaughter, etc of one of these women. Please contact me if you think you might qualify or know someone who would qualify. We already have the funds to pay for the test. Lois in Auburn, CA

Hi I was wondering if anybody has information on Stephen Cooper and his wife Emma Stretton who were married at Aston Juxta in Birmingham, England in 1846. Thank You Paul Stretton Melbourne Australia

I am fairly new to genealogy and am trying to research Alexander Henderson born abt 1786 Halkirk, Caithness, Scotland. Alexander died Janestown, Latheronwheel, Caithness, Scotland. Alexander married Barbara Henderson (more sure of date). Barbara was born about 1781 and died Latheronwheel, Caithness, Scotland. Alexander/Barbara are my third great grandparents. I would be delighted to know who the parents of Alexander and Barbara were and also share/exchange information. Thank you, Valerie

Listers I am trying to further information on the parents, siblings and ancestors of JAMES COUPER/COOPER who was born around 1780 in Kirktintilloch, Dunbartonshire. He married Margaret Kiniburgh, date unknown, who was around 1778 in Kirktintilloch. Everywhere I have searched has drawn a blank so I am hoping some listers will be able to assist. Thanks Andrew

I don't think this is my Cooper line. My Abraham (Abram) was b. 1851 and was married to Hagae. They did have a son named John b. 1877 in North Carolina. I have no idea who he married, I haven't been able to find a record of him again until 1910 when he was living back in the home with Abraham and Hagae and his three children Frank, Lawnie and Nell. I'm not even sure this is the right Abraham because now he is listed as Abe and the age is off. You know how these census records are. My Cooper line didn't move to VA until 1920 when Abraham nephew (my great-grandfather Andy) was living Ervington, Dickinson, VA. Our family reunion is actually held in St. Paul. I'm not sure why we ended up in VA from NC since the family had lived there since at least 1880. I'll keep my eyes open for your John as I'm looking.
